A GRAVITY-DEFYING dance-circus production wowed beachgoers at Watergate Bay over the weekend.

The Watergate Bay Hotel partnered with Motionhouse, an internationally renowned dance-circus company for WILD On The Beach, a free family-friendly event.

The company gave an exhilarating display of thrilling lifts and acrobatic feats, including the first performance of WILD on a beach.

The performance unfolded in a striking ‘forest’ of tall poles, set against the sand and sea.

Performers climbed, swung and soared through the vertical world of the canopy and the shifting ground below.

The weekend also saw performances from Atlantic Coast Theatre Company and Treviglas Academy Dance, a silent sunset disco, street food, bar, and Watergate Bay Hotel Kids Zone activities.
